I know I'm being a hypocrite for what I'm about to say because I moan when other people say it - but now, it's becoming unavoidably true.

EA is starting to fucking suck.

It's gone through various periods of suck, but the people causing the suckiness are eventually removed or ignored off the board, and normality resumes.

But 2007 has seen an influx of hardcore assholes populating this board, and a fair amount of the old, funny, interesting posters have pretty much disappeared - possibly for the reasons stated above.

Whinging, bitching, shit-talking and general retardedness has dominated the GD forum - just look at all the dodgy sex-act related threads just recently - they've had to take the latest-forum-posts thing off the front page for this specific reason. And a couple months ago there was about 10 threads with the word 'nigger' in the title.

I know I'm not the most well placed person to make this kind of comment - I contribute to the stupid often enough.

But damn people... it's everywhere right now.

And this thread is fucking embarrassing.

It's possible to regain that respect that you so casually lost, but it'll take a lot of time and work that I'm assuming you're not gonna pursue.

Boo fucking hoody hoo hoo, if you think this board sucks then go away and fuck off. Go find somewhere else
The EA forums will rule forever. It's a living thing, it grows and changes and does not stay the same just like anything else. That's what's cool about it. It's a garden that is allowed to just grow, sometimes there's weeds, sure...but there's always all kinds of other weird shit growing in there as well.
The last thing it needs is some asshole neighbor poking his head over the fence saying what a shitty garden it is and how this garden used to be so much better and blah fucking blah blah blah.

The sex threads all made me laugh and it looks a lot cooler with the equipment on the front page anyway.

I highly doubt that. I doubt there was one, and if there was one, I bet it was moderated away quickly.

The Search engine turns up zero posts with 'nigger' in the thread title.

I sure didn't see these threads.

I can only assume they got deleted or edited.

Google found this thread:

http://electrical.com/phpBB2/viewtopic. ... 71d3d682a1

And that's it. Nothing else with 'nigger' in the thread title.

I see it was started in July '07. That's why I missed it. Steve gave me July off.
